With calls for more foreign fighters. "Attack Ethiopia troops, Qaeda leader urges Somalis," from Reuters:
DUBAI (Reuters) - A purported audio tape message by al Qaeda's deputy leader urged Somali Islamists on Friday to launch an Iraq-style guerrilla campaign of suicide and other forms of attacks against Ethiopian forces in Somalia.
Ethiopian forces helped Somalia's interim government rout Islamists in a two-week war.
"As happened in Iraq and Afghanistan, when the world's strongest power was defeated by the campaigns of the mujahideen troops going to heaven, so its slaves shall be defeated on the Muslim lands of Somalia," said Ayman al-Zawahri, deputy to al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.
"You must ambush, mine, raid and (carry out) martyrdom campaigns so that you can wipe them out," he said.
The tape was posted on a Web site used by militant Islamist groups. The authenticity of the tape could not be immediately verified by Reuters but correspondents familiar with Zawahri's voice believed it belonged to al Qaeda's deputy leader.

Zawahri urged the Islamists not to be disheartened by their setback.
"The real battle will begin with your campaign against the Ethiopian troops," said Zawahri, an Egyptian cleric who issues regular messages over the Internet or through video tapes.
"I call on the Islamic nation in Somalia to remain steadfast in this new theater of the Crusader wars that the United States, its allies and the United Nations is waging against Islam."
Zawahri criticized the U.N. Security Council's failure to issue a resolution demanding Ethiopian troops withdraw from Somalia and said plans to send peacekeepers to the troubled Horn of Africa provided political cover for Ethiopia's invasion.
The interim government wants a foreign peacekeeping force, approved by the United Nations before the war, to be deployed as soon as possible. New U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon called on Thursday for its quick deployment and welcomed Ethiopia's plan to pull it troops out of Somalia in a few weeks.
Zawahri urged Islamist groups in Yemen, Gulf Arab states, Egypt, Sudan and north Africa to help Somalia's Islamists.
"I call on my Muslim brothers everywhere to fulfill the call for jihad in Somalia," he said.
This is why the Ethiopian Forces should not stop the Offensive. they have to wipe the threat out.
They have the Jihadi's right where they want them, all they have to do is finish them off. send them to Paradise. Thats really all any Jihadist wants anyway.
Now can we all agree that Islam is an agressive, diabolical and sinister force bent on launching offensive attacks on countries minding their own business, instead of the partyline spewed by those simpering wimps who complain that Virgil Goode is a bigot? Do we have to wait until Zawahri urges Islamist groups in Yemen, Gulf Arab states, Eqypt, Sudan and North Africa to help Mississippi's Islamists, Minnesota's Islamists or California's Islamists.
I call on the Islamic nation in Somalia to remain steadfast in this new theater of the Crusader wars that the United States, its allies and the United Nations is waging against Islam. -Zawahri
I call on Halliburton to hire the Somali army as a mercenary force to secure the Arabian oil fields for Halliburtistan.
Don't you wonder why the ordinary Muslims never notice that they are doing all the dying while the clerics and their children and family stay safe calling for others to die?
Umm...did I miss something. We were defeated in Iraq and Afghanistan? Does that mean the coalition forces are gone from both countries? After seeing the body count numbers, I'd have to say that it was a Phyrric (sp?) victory for the islamofascists at best and that was if we were actually gone.
The Ethopians already anounced their planned withdrawal, right? So the idiots are trying to get foreign fighters to come and fight someone who invaded only when prodded and who has promised to leave quickly now the threat is gone.
On a side note, as we see Somali taxi drivers in Minnesota unwilling to take passengers carrying alcohol, the taliban controlled areas of Afghanistan are seeing bumper crops of opium which is also banned by the religion of peas. Can anyone explain this to me? I've had a few beers and might be a little slow this evening...
Schwaben,
I don't know about the opium issue but I can tell you that the wishful thinking about the U.S. defeat in Iraq and Afghanistan is part of the Koranic-ally inspired concept of Taqqiya, which basically means to lie when you are in a country where Muslims are the minority, until they have enough Muslims to take over, or, to pretend you are an easy going, boy-next-door kind of American who morphs into a jihadi when you are in your twenties and decide to run your car into a group of infidels, or, to lie when it is easier to tell the truth. The main thing is to become good at lying, especially where you will be aided and abetted by useful idiots and fellow travelers who will swear that anyone who loves America and gets pissed off by Muslims is a racist and a bigot. (So much for higher education in our esteemed universities.)
Waiting for John Scowcroft to offer up his explanation for this Jihad against Ethiopia. I know the answer of course -- that pesky Arab-Israeli dispute that needs to be settled "once and for all" so "our friends" in the Gulf and elsewhere in the Middle East will be willing -- to oppose Iranian expansionism directed at them. For some reason they apparently need a bribe to defend themselves, or to accept our defending them by attacking Iran.
I just want to hear Scowcroft say it aloud. And then I want him to be arrested as a Foreign Agent, and all of his take over the past twenty years from Arab governments listed on the front page of every major paper, and seized by the government, and then I want him tried for working, treasonously, on behalf of the forces of Jihad. And then I want a thousand others, all over official Washington, of both parties, given similar treatment, including not a few former Presidents of both parties.
Anyone else share that feeling, or want to second that motion?
I just love it. Here's a sawed off goon in some cave somewhere wanting his followers to die in a pest hole of a country. Then on top of it are a bunch of Idiot Muslims that want to go back and fight a war for him. This is comic book material!
Schwaben: No you are ok. Another beer and it will all become clear. Or better, the girls will all look good at closing time!
I was just looking at the Dhimmicrats taking over congress. The top priority by their speaker is green house gas. Hell, my dog lets so much gas go that he will probably have to be plugged up by congress. Fortuneately I live in a congressional district that was last Dhimmicrat in 1954! Yes, conceiled and carry rules! We are represented in congress by utter fruitcakes. Well at least fruitcakes sometimes have nuts!
Well rant off. I will open another Rolling Rock and toast the fine people on this board. Yes, even you Naseem, you cross dressing transvestite!

Whats happening in Afghanistan is this. Before the war the Taliban pretty much had the opium growing under control. Since their ouster they now help the growers because they are making money off the opium so they can buy weapons to fight the infidels.
Yes Hugh, I agree with you. And what a lovely concept, "tried for working, treasonously," sounds like. But then, when was the last time anyone in our country was held accountable for treason? With Miss Nancy Pelosi and her band of merry men sweeping into power today, I wouldn't hold my breath on anyone being held accountable for treason anytime in the next few years, (or even before the second coming.)
Boy, this guy has been busy issuing calls to jihad. I wonder if all of this activity will help us to find out what his return address is. At this rate of output somebody along the chain is bound to slip-up. Let's start calling Osama Bin Laden Dr. Zawahiri's #2 man and see what happens. Maybe we could get some real tribal stuff going.
"Let's start calling Osama Bin Laden Dr. Zawahiri's #2 man and see what happens. Maybe we could get some real tribal stuff going."
Emerson, now that's funny!
It's like fighting movie vampires.
Zawahiri doesn't seem to be very serious in his efforts to recruit. There seems to be a lack of incentives to go like, Airfare, Hotel accommodations, Meals...
As for the Poppy Fields in Afghanistan. We should spray ROUNDUP on the crops. The EPA allows its use here. So I see no reason not to use it over there. We just need to change the name. Like Allah's Rein. Guaranteed to kill every thing it touches.
I call upon that coward Zawahiri to take off his dress and lead the charge in Somalia. None of these koranrads have the testicles to be real men and fight. They send out mental retards and people with psychological problems to do the dying while they hide as girly muslims and take credit for the mayhem.
Come on Zawahiri leave the Victoria's Secret lingerie off and come out and be a man or just shut up and go play with your dolls.
Hugh,
2 your motion.
No incentives? Jihadis are brigands. That is their patrimony. Extortionists, caravan raiders and plunderers. The warriors of allah own everything under the moon.
i'll 3rd that,Hugh
When you're around Detroit this weekend, please visit Brigitte Gabriel where she's making a speech and will be available to shake hands with you.

So its OK for 'Foreign Fighters' to come to the aid of the illegal Jihadists. No UN condemnation no word from Jimmy Carter No codemnation from the Arab League or Iran? But the Ethiopians who were responding to a threat and at the request of the LEGAL Government of Somalia are somehow wrong. The world has indeed gone crazy. I hope the US navy is patrolling the coast and ports and stopping them getting out and in. Congratulations to Kenya on sealing the border 'way to go'.
Zawahri urged Islamist groups in Yemen, Gulf Arab states, Egypt, Sudan and north Africa to help Somalia's Islamists.
"I call on my Muslim brothers everywhere to fulfill the call for jihad in Somalia," he said.
Gulf States = Saudi Arabia
What is Bush going to do about that???
Heck I will answer my own question: Nothing.
Situation in Thailand getting more and more worrysome.
Army is on the roads in Bangkok again, though the army insists that this is not another coup.
Now PULO a terrorist organization which operates in the South has answered.

you notice that the man in the cave . Zawahiri calls for others to go and do his dirty work, and the type of dirty work that only muslims know of is "ambush" as they are even too weak to go up after a third world country's military. yes there it is in a nutshell, islamist are used to beating up on women, unarmed civilians, and having the leftist fight for them. muslims are cowards, and count on the brainwashed among themselves to do their dirty dirty work. did . Zawahiri's tape use the famous muslim word of "humuliation" to describe how they felt be driven out of Somalie?
NUMBER 2........Why doesn't Number 1 ever say anything?
Number 2 sure talks loudly when encouraging others to go forth and die for "Islam."
I would think a soldier would trust a leader more if the leader actually visited the "front."
I suspect (my opinion only), that Number 2 actually gets his orders from the Iranian Ayatollahs. I also suspect Nasrallah gets his orders from the Iranian Ayatollahs.
Iraq's Al-Sadr gets his order from Ayatollah Sistani, who in turn, gets his orders from the Iranian Ayatollahs.
The other terrorist organizations such as Hamas and Hizbollah consult the Ayatollahs before doing anything.
Listen to any Ayatollah speech (or read the transcripts) and you will find some serious hate/kill/die rhetoric.
People think killing Sadaam was important...try knocking off a couple of the real terrorist leaders...the Ayatollahs and see the Muslim Response.
And just why hasn't Number 1 appeared anywhere lately???
Reuters has been doing e-mail interviews with Mullah Omar (THEY HAVE HIS E-MAIL ADDRESS AND NO ONE SAYS ANYTHING!)
He said that he has not seen Osama since 2001!
He's dead.
It would be nice if Ethiopia sent an expedition to help out the Christians in Sudan.
The speculation about where bin Laden is, has had me curious as well. If it had always just been Zawahiri who made these periodic appearances, that would be one thing, but they began with bin Laden. Messages from him served two major purposes- to inspire his troops and an "in your face" to the West. How long has it been since his last tape?
If I am ever lucky enough to see a petition regarding the rounding up the traitors both past and present. I will sign it and pass it on aggressively. Round the bums up, we know who their friends are so let them live with them, if they can.
Good. I hope the Ethiopians bomb the snot out of that country and the Jihadists there. What's funny is that one of the biggest warlords is a former U.S. Marine, so I hope he dies too. Not because he's a Marine, but becuase of his betrayel to the U.S. What a wast of space.
How does Israel fit into all of this? I'm truly impressed that they can be causing so much trouble in southern Thailand, Somalia, Darfur, in the semi-wild indigenous zones between Afghanistan and Pakistan and Chechnya, Uzbekistan and the suburbs of Paris. They can fight on a dozen simultaneous fronts! No wonder the Muslims are so intent on destroying them, they are a force to be reckoned with.
Rust never sleeps and neither do 'da joos'.

"Today we will launch a massive assault on the Islamic courts militias. We will use infantry troops and fighter jets," said Shire, who left for the battle zone on Friday. "They have dug huge trenches around Ras Kamboni but have only two options: to drown in the sea or to fight and die."
Somalia has become the perfect roach motel for jihadists. They can check in, but the only way to check out is to join their 'prophet' in Hell.
We need to find mo-foes like Zawahiri and Mullah Omar and give them martyrdom. Bin Laden has to be dead or he's very sick ( physically ).
Find them and take them out like Zarquawi. Zarahiri has had more than his share of the jihad spotlight.
Don't enough people see that Zawahiri and his ideology are supremicist and RACIST?
"As happened in Iraq and Afghanistan, when the world's strongest power was defeated by the campaigns of the mujahideen troops going to heaven, so its slaves shall be defeated on the Muslim lands of Somalia," said Ayman al-Zawahri.
The mo-foe is saying Eithiopians are 'slaves' to the United States... why do these Jihadis get free passes on this sort of thing? I think it's because journalists are mentally lazy on the whole.
There is always option number three,

Hugh, I thought the arab chippie's name was "brent" scocroft, but whatever he calls himself, he is a treacherous bastard.
Yes. Brent. Sorry.
